Don’t forget to say “Hi!” or “Stubborn As A Mueller” when you arrive!

Who’se on First? Opening bets?

Question: if someone in the WH is indicted, do they lose their security clearance/get fired/business as ‘usual’?

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

yoo hoo! anybody home?

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Hi there guys. I am here

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

If someone in the WH is indicted SOP would be a leave of absence that would suspend any clearance. But this is the Trump WH and no bets can be made.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Probably right, Murph.

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Will it be Manafort or one of the Mimimee trumps?

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO there is a large cast of characters….most known, but some not. The speculation here is all over the place. Some say that low hanging and low level fruit will get picked first; others say that Mueller would only be acting if he had a sense that someone was going to leave the country; and still others suggest that Mueller will want to make a big splash to shake up others and to secure his position from Trump interference.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Hey! Got pulled away! Am back!

AdLib7 days ago

In the Trump WH, if someone is indicted, they get a promotion.

AdLib7 days ago

PPO….here is a bit of Trump for you ala Halloween: President Donald Trump briefly met with children of the White House press corps on Friday as part of a Halloween celebration, and things got weird pretty quickly. The costumed kids were invited to the Oval Office before trick-or-treating in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Trump, ever eager to criticize the press, seized the opportunity to make fun of their parents. “I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children,” Trump said, according to a pool report of the event. “How the media did this, I don’t know.” Trump pointed at the pool and asked the kids, “Do you know who they are? They are the friendly media.” He comforted one young girl, who was clearly a little nervous and crying. And he maintained a playful banter with the kids and the media. “These are beautiful, wonderful children,” he said, turning to the kids. “Are you going to grow up and be like your parents? Mmm, don’t answer that. It can only get me in trouble. You have wonderful parents, right?”

Sigh, Ad!

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Word seems to be that Mueller’s coming out soon with some big indictments.

AdLib7 days ago

Ad…watching it all closely…there is a large cast of characters….most known, but some not. The speculation here is all over the place. Some say that low hanging and low level fruit will get picked first; others say that Mueller would only be acting if he had a sense that someone was going to leave the country; and still others suggest that Mueller will want to make a big splash to shake up others and to secure his position from Trump interference.

MurphTheSurf3

Cretin can’t even have fun with children. Of course, they don’t vote

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO…he just cannot step away from his bitter anger and his grudges.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Wonder how his blood pressure will be on Monday? Enough to have him discharged medically unfit? Hope so.

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Murph, Trump is so mentally ill to act that way with children. He didn’t raise his own kids. Clear personality disorder. The jerk is mentally ill.

PPO..the 25th Amendment, even if it gives us Pence is our best way out. If we were a Parliamentary System, I suspect he would be gone already.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

I’m hoping every member of the WH staff are feeling like the SS when Hitler went and will run in disguise to try to escape.

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO…and I hope that Mueller gets a load more cooperating witnesses.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Hi Harleigh.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph, who really cannot see that the US is in huge trouble with this guy

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Hi, Harleigh

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO….my friends in the UK….for sure know and their friends on the continent share the concerns.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

I think Mueller would be more likely to indict the low hanging fruit first, Manafort and Flynn.

AdLib7 days ago

Hey Harleigh!

AdLib7 days ago

Ad…I agree……and with that upping the ante on them…..cooperate or you are going to swing!

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

hey guys… stranger and stranger.

Harleigh

7 days ago

Harleigh…Us?

MurphTheSurf3

pinkpantheroz

Anyone booking charters for Brazil or Venezuela yet?

pinkpantheroz

well we were strange before dolt45 LOL

Harleigh

The Boys in Brazil

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

PPO – After the first indictment, watch Trump’s blood pressure skyrocket and him go nuts.

AdLib7 days ago

H…that is true……after all a whole bunch of people in this country voted for the loon and goet a lunatic

MurphTheSurf3

Brooks Brothers have specials on brown underwear

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Ad, sounds like a plan!

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

my net buds in AUS said them and everyone the knew around the world knows dotard is whackdoodle. nobody believes him.

Harleigh

7 days ago

Harleigh, the bugger still has the nuke codes.

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Horrible news coming out of PR. All on Trump’s watch. No HRC, Obama or Media to blame here. It’s all on him

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Murph – The Trump cult are proof of how dictators rise in countries. Like cult members, their allegiance to Trump and their fear and hatred towards others puts their minds in chains. They can’t see themselves as wrong for following a con man. They’re self image and understanding of the world and their victim hood is all wrapped up in their blind faith in Trump. They are lost to us and the majority, they need to be overcome and relegated back to the shadows…where they will hopefully let down and allow reason to creep back into their closed minds.

AdLib7 days ago

He’s unhinged like dangerous and can fire nukes.

Harleigh

On another front, I was part of a group of 12 who met with the leadership staff of three of our GOP congress people re. health care. I was put in the slot of “community activist”, there were others representing Navigators, the state health system, doctors groups, hospitals, patient advocates……It was an honest and generally respectful discussion….making clear what a mess they are making of the health care system and how much worse it could get…..we met after the 90 minute meeting with the Congress folk and wrote up a summary of the points we made and sent them, and their employers, and the Speaker of the House, and the Governor here, and the Senators….a copy of it.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Well, put, Ad. Just like the Nazis in WWII. Of course, afterwards they were all ‘Good Germans’, weren’t they?

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Murph, do you think anything concrete might come out of it?

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

BRB

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Ad…in agreement in principle…the problem with overcoming in states like mine is they are the majority (or so allied to it that taking the opposite tack is doomed from the start). When Hitler was elected Chancellor, the wealthy who supported him were asked by local leaders if this was wise and were told that “Mr. Hitler works for us. Let’s be clear on that.”

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

PPO….I do not think so….but we wanted to be sure that our words represented our meeting not theirs.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – So where does that leave things? With the sabotage by Trump of the ACA and the “tax” bill and budget trying to slash Medicare and Medicaid…how can healthcare work especially for those who most need it in MO?

AdLib7 days ago

AD…it won’t and it will be up to folks like myself to work at getting the message out that this is ALL the GOP’s fault.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

HC will falter along until we adopt single payer and get rid of most of the bullshit insurance business.

Harleigh

7 days ago

Has anyone see the Steyer ad calling for the invoking of the 25th or impeachment NOW?

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Nope, not here

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO – Trump is an unofficial Nazi leader, he calls them “fine people” and supported their heinous actions in Charlottesville. Trump supporters are the equivalent of Hitler supporters, no atrocity would shake their support of him to be a tyrant.

AdLib7 days ago

Harleigh…agreed and that is one of the reasons that HC big business is really unhappy right now as the messier it gets the more likely it is that the next steps will take us down the road you suggest here and away from the gravy train.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Ad, that’s why I keep making the simile. Pure Dictatorial hero-worship and plebs manipulation. Reality about to descend, bigly!

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Ad…I have a neighbor, about three miles down the road who flies the Confederate Battle Flag, a Christian Conservative Flag, an American Fascist Flag, a U.S. Flag and a Missouri Flag in his yard which faces a major county road.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – That’s the thing, the Repub Establishment supported and empowered Trump thinking they’d still own him and the GOP. It’s the story of the Gollum for them. For Trump core supporters, it’s the same emotional and blind support Hitler enjoyed. They are the enemy at this point, they stand against decency.

AdLib7 days ago

He needs to fly the last confederate flag, You know, the White One!

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Ad…just so.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Ad, fer sure

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

I really hope there are a lot of very nervous people in the WH and Congress right now.

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

these baggers think they can intimidate other other 60% like at the obama HC townhalls with guns and torches. ain’t happening … they will try.

Harleigh

7 days ago

This guy has tried to pick an argument with me over the “myth” of the Confederate States fighting the Civil War to maintain slavery. I send him links to 9 of the Confederate States’ declarations of war in which they cite slavery as the first or second grievance.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – As I said though, those who support Trump have their identity and inner security wrapped up in him being their savior against the non-white, non-male world. They can’t afford to change their minds about him.

AdLib7 days ago

Ad…all of which makes it very unlikely that they will be wooed away…..very disappointing.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – Yes, very pleased to see the ads legitimizing the concept of removing Trump though I wonder if Steyer has ulterior motives.

AdLib7 days ago

I see PapayaPuss is trying to swing TrumpRussia from himself to HRC! Funny, I don’t hear of any indictments headed that way

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Ad….what motives…running for office?

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

PPO…PapayaPuss! Love it.

MurphTheSurf3

“If you want to test a man’s character…give him power.” (A. Lincoln) The Party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Hoover, Dewey, Eisenhower…..has capitulated to Trump despite the voices of McCain, Bush, Bush, Corker, Flake, and the historic stances taken by the GOP in regard to the budget, the debt, hawkish diplomacy, and so much more that call for RESISTANCE to the TRUMPIAN/BANNONIAN HOSTILE TAKEVER OF THE GRAND OLD PARTY. shame, shame, shame. Such is the allure of power (and its accompanying draw, greed.)

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

PPO – Yep, I see no difference in the mindset behind Germans who blindly supported and excused whatever Hitler did and these authoritarian loving Trumpers. Mueller and the 2018 elections will rightly rip away power from the hands of the hateful and ignorant by helping to bring Trump down.

AdLib7 days ago

this admin is sorta like the cotton candy machines at the fair….. except their putting fuckin turds in the machines. no matter how you spin it, it’s still shit.

Harleigh

7 days ago

Murph – He sounds a little confused, with all those flags. What year does he think it is?

AdLib7 days ago

Hope so, Ad. Hope the Dems pound away at the Nazi bullying, the anti-female bias, and all the other odious shite they propunded

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

He says that he is first of all a Missourian, then a Christian, then a Populist/Nationalist, and then a citizen of the Federal Union (his words).

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – I know, he thinks it was all about states rights. But they never admit that what the state wanted the right to do was keep black human beings as slaves.

AdLib7 days ago

Ad…just read the statements from state after state re. separation from the Union and that is very evident

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph, I’ve a one-word observation – Bonkers!

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO….Bonkers indeed. I fly the U.S. flag and the Mo. flag…but have been told that I should not since I so clearly hate the nation….bonkers.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

PPO – Saw a fed prosecutor say it’s actually very common to see a party that is on the verge of facing justice for crimes to blame the same crimes on those coming after him. Or in this case, Hillary who he sees as a symbol of his enemies.

AdLib7 days ago

I am glad for my cameras and my flood lights.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Ad…..Nunes is trying to resurrect two Clinton stories – a sign of desperation.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

BENGHAZI…. again LMAO

Harleigh

7 days ago

Murph – Yes, Steyer seems like he’s just as focused on publicizing himself as going after Trump, possibly to run for Senator or Governor of CA. I like Newsom for gov.

AdLib7 days ago

Harleigh…less Benghazi but Uranium and the Server are back full tilt.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

what’s the second one murph??

Harleigh

7 days ago

Ad…I am with you on Newsom.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Harleigh…the e mail server.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

oh no fucking way. ROTF

Harleigh

7 days ago

Harleigh…no F’ing way….? about?

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – Was that a quote you posted starting with the Lincoln quote? Very well written!

AdLib7 days ago

Ad…that was my post at Yabberz today.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – He left out being a citizen of Looneyville.

AdLib7 days ago

bwahahaha back to that old server and the sale of 20% of the share in foreign country uranium mining facilities….. priceless.

Harleigh

7 days ago

Breaking News! HRC to be impeached! Oops, sorry, She’s being Inducted into The International Women’s Forum Hall of Fame.. MyBad!

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Harleigh, they’re really desperate now, and Fox is saying Zip, I hear. I don’t have cable

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO Fox will soon be running 24 hours a day of the burning yule log.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

PPO – Trump is attacking EVERY demographic but the 1% and the 1 IQ who are white. That is a clear majority of Americans and voters, especially women! Dems just need to have a sensible candidate in 2018 without a mountain of baggage and they’ll win.

AdLib7 days ago

Ad, hopefully they will be able to sort that out for once and stop the incessant infighting.

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Anyone know where Glenn has been of late?

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

We’ve got to defeat Nunes here in CA. He is a ridiculous cliche of a Trump drone. Hoping CA will help flip the House by getting rid of many Repubs in 2018.

AdLib7 days ago

Do we have any idea who will stand against Nunes?

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – Will check out your post! Looks very well written and on the money from that excerpt.

AdLib7 days ago

Ad……that really is all that I wrote….I have been very pressed for time of late.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – Haven’t heard from glenn, will check in with her.

AdLib7 days ago

Didn’t glenn pop up late last week? or the week before? I remember

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Murph – Don’t know who will oppose Nunes but no doubt he/she will have a ready-made campaign donation pool waiting for them!

AdLib7 days ago

I would give….

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Murph – Well, it’s very well done!

AdLib7 days ago

There’s more than enough ammo from Nunes’ own mouth and his boss not to have to say much at all

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Well, gang…..I am heading to bed…..I am trying to eke out a bit more produce from my last garden, and to nudge my floral gardens along for another week or so and we are getting close to freezing. So I Have to cover everything at night and uncover in the AM.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Hey, Murph, don’t forget you have an extra hour’s sleep this weekend!

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO – Nunes has betrayed his district in lying and showing allegiance only to propaganda and Trump instead of his district. He should be buried in a campaign but he’s in a red district, one of the few out here.

AdLib7 days ago

Any wiggle room or is it totally gerrymandered, Ad?

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

Sounds like a bit of work ahead of you Murph! Get some rest!

AdLib7 days ago

See you, Murph

pinkpantheroz

7 days ago

PPO….Daylight Savings Time ends of Sunday Morning at 2 AM on November 5.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

PPO, CA isn’t gerrymandered, we passed a law having a non-partisan panel decide re-districting. CA is a true democracy reflecting its people.

AdLib7 days ago

PPO and AD….CA is a model for how to district fairly.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Next week, Daylight Savings is over?

AdLib7 days ago

Murph – Hope the SCOTUS decides that to be the way all states should be.

AdLib7 days ago

nite murph. night guys…. bed is calling

Harleigh

7 days ago

Ad….Gorsuch is opposed. Well…I am off.

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

And not that kind of “off”. HaH!

MurphTheSurf3

7 days ago

Heh!

AdLib7 days ago

Well, guess we’ll call it a night at Vox, PPO! Have a great rest of your weekend!
